What the hell?? Admin actions on-wiki are part of their private life???
Your girlfriend/wife, boyfriend/husband or employer might find exactly this data without going through Special:Log. Easily done an mighty disturbing.
I don't really get why they would be disturbed to learn that you delete images as part of your administrator duties. If they're going to be disturbed that you are an administrator period, or you have an account on a wiki, well those pieces of information are already available aside from this one page.
Wiki actions are public; that is a very basic thing that if you can't accept, you should probably never have hit "edit" in the first place. let alone joined a publicly archived mailing list from an email account that has your real name on it.
Paddy, you might be disturbed to learn of the existence of http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Log ... from which all of this data could be obtained.
I know that this exists but sorting data and making it transperent is what disturbs me.
Is not transparency in admin actions a good thing?
BTW see last post.
I saw it, but considering I can't read German, it didn't do much for me.
